Due to the special geographical location of Lincheng, it has been a battleground for soldiers and merchants since ancient times. There are also several ancient roads preserved in the territory, two of which are the most important, namely the Eighteen-mile Chi Road and the Dongshan Bottom Road. Eighteen miles of gallop road is also known as eighteen miles of long ditch, located at the foot of Diaopan Mountain, this gallop road has a very long history, some people say that the gallop road was built in the pre-Qin period. And located in the southwest of the county seat of the east mountain bottom road, west by the river, to the southeast winding mountain and straight to the end of the mountain, the road is a stepped pavement, paved by stone chips, about three miles long, the mountain road is steep, commonly known as "eighteen plates".

Controlling these two roads will open up the road to the north, and enter the plain area, there will be no danger to defend, and Han will have one less bargaining chip.

When Zhao Ta and his army suddenly appeared under the city, the city gate opened. One is because not long after the Jin army occupied here, the residents of the city still had their hearts set on the Great Song Dynasty; The other is that there was not much left of the Jin army left behind, and most of the men and horses followed Wanyan Wushu to attack the Song army camp at night, but they didn't wait for the general to return victorious, but waited for the Song army of the brigade, so there is no need to ask the brothers who went to the sneak attack must have been wiped out by the Song army.

Lightly took Lincheng, Zhao Ta left 3,000 soldiers to defend the city, rushed to Baixiang before dawn, ordered people to pretend to be defeated soldiers in Lincheng to open the city gate, lead the army to seize the city, after a fierce battle, kill 500 enemies, seize the grain and grass baggage, and flee to Zhaozhou. When Yan Wushu came back, the city had been replaced by the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, he didn't dare to stay, walked around the city, followed the footsteps of the defeated army and fled all the way to Zhaozhou to see Han Li.

Defeat the Jin army that attacked at night, outwit the two cities, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and the victory moved forward. Waving troops and conquering Gaoyi soldiers came to the city of Zhaozhou, and Zhao Ta ordered the army to go down to the village ten miles away from the city. Zhaozhou is only a hundred miles away from Zhending. The situation is very good. Zhao Ta spread the word to the Quartet, calling on people everywhere to fight against Jin.

At the same time, Zhao Ta selected sergeants who were good at mounted archery in the whole army. Every 300 people formed a team, attacking everywhere, attacking the Jin army out of the camp and looting the small team of soldiers and horses, for a time the Jin army was attacked everywhere, the team did not dare to go out of the city, coincided with the heavy snowfall, lack of food, and nowhere to graze horses of the Jin army fell into a desperate situation, can only shrink in a few big cities to suffer. Morale plummeted.

And Zhao Ta did not dare to attack rashly at this time, he knew that he had to rely on the cooperation of Ah Shu to win again and again, and the withdrawal of the army made Han Li not unintentional to attack, so he won by luck. After entering the plain, the cavalry of the Jin army advanced and retreated freely, coming and going like the wind, which was conducive to field battles. In front of him, most of his subordinates were volunteers who had just put down their hoes, lacked training and had no battle formation. Field fighting in the plains is by no means the opponent of the Jin army, and he still has this self-knowledge.

Therefore, Zhao Tan could only send the elite of the army to harass the Jin army to put pressure on the Jin army, and at the same time, he was grateful for the emperor's generosity and rewarded the army with tributes to the Jurchens. Raise morale, pay close attention to training, and put on a posture of going north to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army at any time. In fact, he was worried that the Jin army would attack and fight a decisive battle with him. It's just like a toad puffing out its belly and putting on a powerful look. In fact, it was a silver-like pewter spear head, and the army asked for battle. He can only prevaricate on the grounds that there is not enough food and grass and the time is not enough, and wait for Jin Jun to talk, now it is more than patience, whoever speaks first will have to give in...

Han is not away these days is like an ant on a hot pot restless, Zong Han's Western Route Army retreated one after another, but it was not smooth, they were blocked by the remnants of the Liao army on the way to retreat, and it was also difficult to withdraw support, and now with the new defeat of Wanyan Wushu, he lost several cities, and fell ill in a hurry, handed over the power of military administration to his younger brother Wanyan Wushu, and let Liu Yanzong deal with the matter of peace.

At this time, the peace negotiation was a thankless errand, and Liu Yanzong could only take it head-on. He knew that now was not a good time for peace talks, and after seizing the truth, he had advocated peace talks, and at that time the wind would be windy and the rain would be rainy. But the Jurchens were too greedy to take Bianjing, and they had to ask King Yan as a hostage, and with his opinion, the head of King Yan was used as a condition for peace talks, and the emperor of the Song people would agree at that time.

At the same time, the two marshals also wanted to humiliate him, so as to avenge the defeat of the army that day, and use him to surrender the remnants of Liao. But they forget that tigers are not as good as dogs in cages, and they are still tigers when they are released.

Sure enough, as soon as King Yan and the envoy went on the road, the situation began to deteriorate, not to mention the defeat, but also the matter of the Shangjing people's mutiny, and had to withdraw the army. And what worries Liu Yanzong the most is that the Shangjing civil rebellion is related to this Yan King, because according to Xianye and others, Ah Shu had been caught at that time, and was later snatched away by the Texas army.

If Remnant Liao is really related to this Yan King, then Ah Shu must have taken refuge in King Yan, or the two have reached some kind of agreement, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, this Yan King had an accident as soon as he returned to Beijing from Taiyuan, and Ah Shu, who lost only a pair of pants, not only sneaked back to his hometown, but also pulled up such a large team, which could not be done without strong financial and material support. But now Liu Yanzong would rather believe that Ah Shu is the foundation created by his own hard work and self-reliance, and he has nothing to do with this Yan King!

Although it was difficult, but it had to be done, Liu Yanzong sent people to the Song camp and invited the Song people and envoys to Zhaozhou to make peace. This time, before Zhao Tan opened his mouth, the Jin messenger was beaten out by Nie Shan's order, asking him to tell Han Li not to let him come to Song Ying to talk. Zhao Ta couldn't go to Jinying, and Han Li didn't dare to come to Song Ying, so he went back and forth several times, and agreed to negotiate at Sanqingguan, five miles outside Zhaozhou City.

The two sides agreed that no one on either side should send troops to approach the Taoist temple, and the envoys could only bring a hundred guards except for the staff, and made an oath to finish the matter, so the whole day and three days passed. On December 11, Zhao Ta and Nie Shan, Wang Yun set off from the camp, and came to the Sanqing Temple against the wind and snow, thanks to Zhao Ji's re-Taoism, the Sanqing Temple outside the city was spacious and tall, and it was well maintained, but after the Jin army went south, the Taoist priests ran out, because it was the location chosen by Liu Yanzong, so he had sent someone to clean up.

"Prince Yan, my lord is lenient, and I have agreed to the peace conditions of your country, demarcating the boundary of the Yellow River, calling the ministers, paying the currency, and sending the prince as hostages!" The two sides sat down, there was no politeness, and there was no greeting, Liu Yanzong said coldly straight to the point.

"Hehe, Lord Liu, do you think this condition can be agreed to here and now?" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"Oh, this is our envoy who negotiated with your emperor in Bianjing, does King Yan want to regret it?" Liu Yanzong sneered and said... (To be continued......)
